that is to slow romney's momentum. he can do that by debating ryan to a draw. and also being more aggressive. make no mistake, this is going to be a precursor for what we'll see next tuesday. because aides for the president say he's going to have a lot more energy, be more aggressive. he watched the tape of the last video, he gets it and knows he has to come out differently. >> is there any danger that biden overcompensates, overlearns the lesson of the last debate? >> no question about it. but i think typically these kinds of debates usually are contested to a draw. i think that biden wants to be aggressive, could be overly aggressive, wants to focus on the 47%, wants to sort of draw out ryan in a way who is, after all, an architect in many ways, the conservative thought on budget, taxes and spending. >> all right, david gregory, chuck todd, thank you. we'll all be up late tonight, you can watch the vice presidential debate, 9:00 eastern, 6:00 pacific on nbc. >>> let's get to other stories making headlines this morning, for that we say good morning to natalie.

does the romney campaign regret anything it's done to this point? >> oh, i think the fact that they took the focus off what they think could have been solely on the president, raising doubts or debates about how has he handled the arab spring, how has he managed this, the relationship with egypt. so in terms of crass political aspect of this, i think they do regret that they allowed themselves to become a focus for 48 hours rather than putting the focus on the president. so what's unclear now, lester, is do they try to simply get back to the economy, stop talking about foreign policy, let this sort of -- let the president deal with this crisis on his own, or do they try to use this moment to exert and show off what they believe would be a different vision on foreign policy? >> some would argue they've put all their eggs in one basket, the economic basket. but as we've seen time and time again, events can drive a political campaign. might that be the case here? might foreign policy end up dominating? >> it certainly could dominate between now and the

before the debate, denver -- this race was out of reach in ohio for governor romney. now it's a very close race. it's anywhere from president obama with a very, very slight lead to just about an even race in ohio. so it's going to come down to the wire. >> and karen, when you break down the ohio numbers further, it's interesting when you look at those who will vote early, the obama folks went about six out of ten early voters, but losing those who say they're going to vote on election day, 44 to 51, romney with 51. what's the story there? is it potentially that the obama campaign is peaking too early with the early vote snerl larly? >> i don't think so. i think that's great spin from the romney campaign. here's the thing to remember, actually. early voters tend to be what we call sporadic voters. it's a different universe than those who actually vote on election day. they're people who don't necessarily vote in any election, presidential, midterm, you know it. so by targeting the sporadic voters to get them out to vote early, you're actually expanding the universe of

mitt romney plans to take a break from campaigning and prepare for the upcoming presidential debates. he and his vice presidential pick, paul ryan, visited the battleground states of florida and ohio yesterday. ryan went to the ohio state football game against his alma mater, miami university of ohio. they told the crowds that president obama is to blame for those without jobs. romney likened it to football saying if the team is not winning, then it's time to get a new coach. >>> so ryan is facing just a little bit of controversy and it has nothing to do with his policies or even voting record, but with his workout history. ryan told a radio host last month that he once ran a 2:50 marathon. an extraordinarily fast pace for a marathon. but okay, runners world magazine did a little bit of digging. they discovered ryan had only run -- only one run -- only one run official marathon in 1990 and finished it in a little over four hours. ryan responded to the claims saying he accidentally said two hours when he meant to say three. >>> well, this morning president obama is back on the campaign

missteps by romney in the last debate about that, but as chuck was reporting, still more questions about what was known and when, about whether this was a terrorist attack and whether the administration came clean about it. the president is being criticized for his -- his talking points on this, on jon stewart saying when four americans are killed it was not optimal. that in stewart's question. nevertheless, this is not an issue that will go away. still some confusion on how the administration response on this was both sluggish, slope and incoherent at sometimes, so i think this is going to be a topic of conversation for sure. >> and what's your topic of conversation this weekend on "meet the press," david? >> we'll do it all. talking to david axelrod, senator rob portman, of course, close with the romney campaign and senator marco rubio as well. >> david gregory in our washington newsroom. matt? >> thank you. >>> thank you, savannah. >>> new revelations about the boy scouts of america and widespread allegations of sexual abuse. now, the organization had fought the release of some intern
